That would be the best solution (and not only for utab, but also for
options parsing, userspace options, command line options used for
helpers, etc.). It's better to have all the things in one library.

Anyway, the change I did today allows to use "user" fstab mount
option also for non-libmount external helper.

It's already in my TODO list to write libmount patch for mount.cifs.
